Overview

Property Details

Updated: Mar 3, 2015

House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, 6 Sleeps

Be one of the firsts to stay in our newly remodeled Beach House right on the famous and centrally located Pacific Coast Highway 101. Discover the only private beach in Carlsbad right across the street from your front door, Terramar Beach. Short and easy walk to beach, 2 minutes!

After spending time in the surf and sand, come inside and enjoy the partial ocean views from the living room! Free wi-fi and satellite TVs are available in each bedroom. Hungry? Cook something up in our fully outfitted Granite Kitchen or hop in your car and take a short drive into Carlsbad Village and enjoy one of the amazing restaurants nearby. (We will leave you a list of our personal favorites!) Afterwards, if you're feeling adventurous explore the local nightspots where you can enjoy a margarita by the fire pits, or maybe you'll opt for a romantic stroll along the beach under the stars instead.

When you return home relax in the jacuzzi bathtub or light a fire in the fireplace. Sink into the softest sofa known to man and watch a movie with your loved ones. When you just can't keep your eyes open any longer sprawl out on one of our Queen sized "Heavenly" Westin Beds and fall asleep to the sound of Ocean waves.

If you've got little ones, bring them! Our large enclosed backyard is lush and perfect for kids who like to play. Not only that but Legoland, Legoland Water Park, and the Sealife Aquarium are less than 2 miles away and very easy to find! If you're up for a little bit of a drive you can take them to the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Knott's Berry Farm, Seaworld, or Disneyland all less than an hours drive away.

There is so much to do in Carlsbad including lots of activities for those seeking a quiet getaway without children too. Make sure you check out our favorite things to do in Carlsbad in the "Activities" section below. We also live in Carlsbad and know the area very well and would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have by email, text, or phone if you choose to stay with us!

We had a lovely stay at this beautifully maintained beach home. It was right across from the beach and had plenty of space for my family. The house included a high chair and sand toys for my little one. So comfortable! You will not be disappointed!

Beach House in Carlsbad

5 of 5

Truly a beautiful house! Relaxing and comfortable, and in a perfect location for beach goers and families that have Legoland on their vacation plan. We also did go to the San Diego Zoo and that was about 30 to 45 minutes away! The homeowner has thought of everything! There are bodyboards for use and other beach items, plus a very convenient wash down area in the backyard to get all the sand off. Perfect family vacation!!!

Lovely Home!

5 of 5

Our family of six traveled from Florida for our son's wedding in Southern California. In searching on VRBO for a rental, we were immediately struck by this home's amazing decor! The home is even more lovely in person! Tamar has thoughtfully equipped Ocean Walk with everything you could possibly need for your stay, right down to great beach chairs and umbrellas. The backyard is beautiful and the perfect spot for entertaining and relaxing. Ocean Walk is centrally located and allowed us to make day trips to San Diego and LA. Our entire family is looking forward to making more memories at Ocean Walk! Thank you Tamar for sharing your creativity, hospitality, and lovely home!

Ocean walk in Carlsbad

Two friends & myself spend two in this well appointed, clean & well cared home in Jan. 2014. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in with everything that we needed to create some wonderful meals with fresh produce & seafood from the farmers market in Carlsbad. The photos & description are an accurate representation of this property. The back yard was nice to sit & catch some sun or relax after a barbecue or evening meal. The beach access was right across the street. It was wonderful to take long walks down the beach & watch the surfers. As we didn't rent a car, it was convenient that the bus stop was right down the street. We used the bus to travel into Carlsbad downtown for shopping, groceries, restaurants & even to take the coaster train into San Diego a couple of days for sightseeing. We even took the bus up the coast as far as La Jolla, stopping at Encinitas, Solana Beach & Del Mar for lunches, shopping and sightseeing. We walked to the outlet malls one day but this is a bit of a hike.Tamar was accommodating & very helpful.I would recommend this home to anyone seeking a clean & comfortable place to stay in Carlsbad.

Great location and family friendly accommodations

5 of 5

Our family of 3 really enjoyed this home. Clean (key!) and roomy inside and out with the beach nearby.

Our negatives (just our preferences, may not be a big deal for others!) - there's no sidewalk on this stretch of the road. We have a 3 year old, so just had to make sure he stayed on the patio. The street is quite busy and there is definitely traffic much of the day. If you're a light sleeper, this could be an issue as the master BR is on the street side.

Great Little House

5 of 5

We traveled to San Diego with our daughter and her family for a wedding. The location of the Beach House was perfect as our son-in-law had business in LA as well. We found the house to be easy to find and it was in immaculate condition. Tamar was very helpful in preparing for our stay. It easily accomodated our four adults and two children. The backyard was a great area for the kids to play. My wife and I enjoyed daily morning walks along the sidewalk to Carlsbad and back. Carlsbad provided some good eating options as well. We definitely would recommend this rental to others, it was perfect for our short vacation. We are thinking of renting it again and having our son and his family meet us there.

Our Favorite Things To Do Nearby

The Beach!!! Carlsbad State Beach was rated one of the top 10 beaches in the US by Traveler Magazine and is located only a 5 minute drive away. Right across the street from our house is the only private beach in Carlsbad, Terramar Beach. So much to do at the beach: Dig your toes in the sand, get a tan, go for a swim, surf, boogie board, play volleyball, explore the tide pools teeming with life, make sandcastles with the kids, join the joggers and bikers along the seawall, enjoy a bonfire with friends and family, or just sit on a bench and people watch! Just remember to bring your sunscreen!

Visit the luxurious Day Spa at La Costa Resort - We love to spend time at the Day Spa. Men and women have their own facilities each with their own indoor Sauna, Steamroom, and Jacuzzis. Outside you can meet up with your spouse by the pool, roman waterfalls, and outdoor jacuzzi. We love to wrap up our spa days with a good massage and then eat at one of the chic restaurants in the resort. The resort is gorgeous and perfect for a romantic date or a girl's day. Google it.

Shopping: The beach house is about 5 minutes away from a huge outdoor shopping mall called the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. This mall has both affordable and high end stores like: Coach, Dooney and Burke, Juicy Couture, Lacoste, Barneys New York, Ralph Lauren, BCBG Max Azria, Banana Republic, DKNY, Gap, BabyGap, Carters, and Crate and Barrel.

My favorite place to shop, however, is "The Forum" about 10 minutes South off Leucadia BLVD. They have a Z Gallerie, Sur La Table, Bed Bath and Beyond, Anthropologie, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Black House White Market, Mac Cosmetics, Ulta, and an Apple Store. Also nearby is a Target and plenty of amazing restaurants!

Dining Out: We love dining out so we will leave you with a list of our favorite restaurants and where to find them. However if you're just looking for something convenient, restaurants under 5 minutes away include: Islands, King's Fish House, BJ's Brewery, Karl Strauss, Claim Jumper, TGIF's, PF Changs, and Bellefleur (amazing Sunday Brunch!!). There are also several fast places nearby like Starbucks, Rubio's, and California's Exclusive In-n-Out Burger (if you haven't tried an In-n-Out Burger then you really haven't lived).

For Kids: Legoland, Legoland Water Park, Sealife Aquarium, Playwerx (an indoor jungle gym in Carlsbad), San Diego Botanic Garden in neighboring Encinitas (cheap admission but tons for little kids/toddlers to do), La Costa Resort Waterpark, and also a variety of beautiful public playgrounds including some on the beach.
